MGT Foods, a third-generation family- and veteran-owned business, this month completed a 38,000-sq.-ft. expansion of its Fort Monmouth, N.J., plant. Price was not disclosed.
The expansion supports manufacturing of its year-old product Biti Bites Biteables, a bite-sized portion of cookie dough wrapped around ice cream, which recently reached nationwide distribution via Walmart, Wawa and Weis stores.
